Description

SULFONAMIDE DERIVATIVES OF AZOLONES ANTI-HELICOBACTER AGENTS
The present invention is concerned with substituted azolone derivatives which are potent anύ-Helicobacter agents.
US-4,791,111 discloses azolones having a structure similar to that of the present compounds and which are intermediates in the preparation of [[4-[4-(4-phenyl- l-piperazinyl)phenoxymethyl]- l,3-dioxolan-2-yl]methyl]-lH-imidazoles and -lH-l,2,4-triazoles.
In US-4,931,444 are described substituted azolone derivatives having 5-lipoxygenase inhibiting activity. The present compounds are distinguished therefrom by their useful anύ-Helicobacter activity.
In the eradication of Helicobacter, dual therapies comprising the separate administration of two antibiotic drugs have not been satisfactory because of one or more of the following reasons: a low eradication rate, numerous side effects and development of resistance by Helicobacter. Triple therapies comprising the administration of two antibiotics and a bismuth compound have been shown to be effective, but are very demanding for the patients and are also compromised by side effects. The present compounds show the avantage that they may be used in a monotherapy in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori and related species.
The present invention is concerned with compounds having the formula
the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, wherein Y is CH or N;
R1, R2 and R3 each independentfy are hydrogen or Ci^alkyl;
R4 and R5 each independently are hydrogen, halo, Cι_4alkyloxy, hydroxy, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethyloxy or difluoromethyloxy; R6 is Ci-4alkyl; or phenyl optionally substituted with halo, Cι_4alkylcarbonylamino, Ci-4alkyloxy, Ci^alkyl or nitro; Zis C=O or CHOH; and is a radical of formula
As used in the foregoing definitions halo defines fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo; Cι-4alkyl defines straight and branched chain saturated hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms: methyl, ethyl, propyl, 1-methylethyl, butyl, 1-methylpropyl, 2-methylpropyl and 1,1-dimethylethyl. Ci^alkyl defines Cι-4alkyl radicals as defined hereinbefore and the higher homologs thereof having from 5 to 6 carbon atoms such as, for example, pentyl and hexyl.
The term pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt as used hereinbefore defines the non- toxic, therapeutically active addition salt forms which the compounds of formula (I) may form.

The compounds of formula (I)» the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof display useful pharmacological activity against Helicobacter species; e.g. Helicobacter pylori, Helicobacter mustelae, Helicobacter felis and the like, in particular Helicobacter pylori.
Particularly important in this context is the finding that the subject compounds show inhibitory activity against the growth of Helicobacter as well as bactericidal activity against said bacteria. The bactericidal effect on Helicobacter was determined with suspension cultures by means of a procedure described in Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 1991, vol. 35, pp. 869-872.
An interesting feature of the present compounds relates to their highly specific activity against Helicobacter. The compounds of formula (I) were found to show no inhibitory activity against any of the following species : Campylobactor jejuni, Ca pylobacter coli, Campylobacter fetus, Campylobacter sputorum, Vibrio spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, tested at concentrations up to 10"5 M.
An important asset of the present compounds is their sustained activity against H. pylori at pH below the neutral pH. Activity at a low pH in vitro may indicate that a compound is not adversely affected by the acidic environment of the stomach in vivo.
Consequently, the subject compounds are considered to be valuable therapeutical drugs for treating warm-blooded animals, particularly humans, suffering from Helicobacter related diseases or afflictions. Examples of said diseases or afflictions are gastritis, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer.
In view of their useful anύ-Helicobacter properties, the subject compounds may be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for administration purposes. To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, an effective amount of the particular compound, in base or addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirably in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally, or by parenteral injection. For example, in preparing tlie compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions: or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example, to aid solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed.
When the pharmaceutical composition takes the form of an aqueous solution, those compounds of formula (I) which display low solubility may be formulated as a salt form, or a co-solvent may be added which is water-miscible and physiologically acceptable, e.g. dimethylsulfoxide and the like, or the compounds of formula (I) may be solubilized with a suitable carrier, e.g. a cyclodextrin (CD) or in particular a cyclodextrin derivative such as the cyclodextrin derivates described in US-3,459,731, EP-A-149,197 (July 24, 1985), EP-A-197,571 (October 15, 1986), US-4,535,152 or WO 90/12035 (October 18, 1990). Appropriate cyclodextrin derivatives are α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrins or ethers and mixed ethers thereof wherein one or more of the hydroxy groups of the anhydroglucose units of the cyclodextrin are substituted with Ci^alkyl, particularly methyl, ethyl or isopropyl; hydroxyCι_6alkyl, particularly hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl or hydroxybutyl; carboxyCι_6alkyl, particularly carboxymethyl or carboxyethyl; Ci-6alkyl-carbonyl, particularly acetyl; Cι_6alkyloxycarbonylCι.6alkyl or carboxyCi-^alkyl-oxyCi.6alkyl, particularly carboxymethoxypropyl or carboxyethoxypropyl; Ci^alkylcarbonyloxyCi^alkyl, particularly 2-acetyloxypropyl. Especially noteworthy as complexants and/or solubilizers arc β-CD, 2,6-dimethyl-β-CD, 2-hydroxyethyl-β-CD, 2-hydroxyethyl-γ-CD, 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-CD and (2-carboxy- methoxy)propyl-β-CD, and in particular 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD. The term mixed ether denotes cyclodextrin derivatives wherein at least two cyclodextrin hydroxy groups are etherified with different groups such as, for example, hydroxypropyl and hydroxyethyl.
The average molar substitution (M.S.) is used as a measure of the average number of moles of alkoxy units per mole of anhydroglucose. The M.S. value can be determined by various analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Depending on the technique used, slightly different values may be obtained for one given cyclodextrin derivative. In the cyclodextrin hydroxyalkyl derivatives for use in the compositions according to the present invention the M.S. as determined by mass spectrometry is in the range of 0.125 to 10, in particular of 0.3 to 3, or from 0.3 to 1.5. Preferably the M.S. ranges from about 0.3 to about 0.8, in particular from about 0.35 to about 0.5 and most particularly is about 0.4. M.S. values determined by NMR or IR preferably range from 0.3 to 1, in particular from 0.55 to 0.75.
The average substitution degree (D.S.) refers to the average number of substituted hydroxyls per anhydroglucose unit The D.S. value can be determined by various analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) and infrared spectroscopy (LR). Depending on the technique used, slightly different values may be obtained for one given cyclodextrin derivative. In the cyclodextrin derivatives for use in the compositions according to the present invention the D.S. as determined by MS is in the range of 0.125 to 3, in particular of 0.2 to 2 or from 0.2 to 1.5. Preferably the D.S. ranges from about 0.2 to about 0.7, in particular from about 0.35 to about 0.5 and most particularly is about 0.4. D.S. values determined by NMR or IR preferably range from 0.3 to 1, in particular from 0.55 to 0.75. More particular β- and γ-cyclodextrin hydroxyalkyl derivatives for use in the compositions according to the present invention are partially substituted cyclodextrin derivatives wherein the average degree of alkylation at hydroxyl groups of different positions of the anhydroglucose units is about 0% to 20% for the 3 position, 2% to 70% for the 2 position and about 5% to 90% for the 6 position. Preferably the amount of unsubstituted β- or γ-cyclodextrin is less than 5% of the total cyclodextrin content and in particular is less than 1.5%. Another particularly interesting cyclodextrin derivative is randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin.
Most preferred cyclodextrin derivatives for use in the present invention are those partially substituted β-cyclodextrin ethers or mixed ethers having hydroxypropyl, hydroxyethyl and in particular 2-hydroxypropyl and/or 2-(l-hydroxypropyl) substituents.

0.50 and containing less than 1.5% unsubstituted β-cyclodextrin. M.S. values determined by NMR or IR preferably range from 0.55 to 0.75.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage.
Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets
(including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions and the like, and segregated multiples thereof.
In view of the usefulness of the subject compounds in the treatment of Helicobacter related diseases it is evident that the present invention provides a method of treating warm-blooded animals, in particular humans, suffering from Helicobacter related diseases, said method comprising the systemic administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt thereof or a stereochemically isomeric form thereof, in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier. In a further aspect of the invention, the subjects compounds are administered for use as a medicine. In general it is contemplated that an effective daily amount would be from 0.05 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg body weight, preferably from 0.1 mg/kg to 30 mg/kg body weight and more preferably form 0.5 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg body weight.

Pharmacological example
The anύ-Helicobacter activity of the subject compounds was assessed by the following in vitro test procedure.
Example 3 : Activity of test compounds versus Helicobacter
The activity of test compounds against Helicobacter pylori was determined against a standard set of 5 H. pylori strains obtained from clinical material. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by measuring the activity of H. pylori urease after treatment of growing cultures of the bacteria with the antimicrobial agents.
The test compounds were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10"3M. A dilution to 10"4M in DMSO was also prepared. 10 μl volumes of these solutions were pipetted in the wells of Repli-Dishes (®Sterilin). Wells containing DMSO alone were included as controls in each Repli-Dish. Ampicillin ((+)-6-[(2-amino-2-phenylacetyl)amino]- 3,3-dimemyl-7-oxo-4-thia-l-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid.rrihydrate) and metronidazole (2-methyl-5-mtro- IH-imidazol- 1 -ethanol) were included as reference compounds in each batch of tests. (These compounds were tested at final concentrations of 10"5, 10-6, 10-7 and 10_8M). Test plates were stored at 4°C until used. The five isolates of H. pylori were maintained by subculture on 10% blood agar every 2 or 3 days. The bacteria were grown at 37°C under an atmosphere containing 5% oxygen, 10% CO2 and 85% nitrogen. Suspensions of Helicobacter pylori for inoculum were prepared in Brain-heart infusion broth and adjusted to an absorbance of 1.5±0.3 at 530 nM.
Freshly prepared 10% blood agar held at 45°C was added in 1 ml volumes to the wells of the test plates, thus diluting the test compounds to 10"5 and 10"6M. The medium was allowed to cool, then 10 μl volumes of bacterial suspension were pipetted on the agar surface. The plates were incubated for 48 hours at 37°C under the microaerophilic atmosphere described above. To facilitate reading of the plates and to ensure that any growth on the media was truly H. pylori, advantage was taken of the highly potent urea activity unique to this species. After the 48 hours of incubation, 1 ml volumes of urease broth were gently added to each Repli-Dish well and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. 100 μl samples of fluid from each well were then pipetted into the wells of 96-place microdilution plates. A purple colour was interpreted as growth, yellow-orange as no growth of H. pylori . By this means a clear end-point was obtained, from which the inhibitory effects could be determined. All compounds that showed activity at either of the two concentrations tested were retested with further dilutions included to establish the MIC and with a broader spectrum of bacterial species as target organisms. Thus far, the MIC value for compound 25 was found to be equal or below 10 μM.
Composition examples "Active ingredient" (A.I.) as used throughout these examples relates to a compound of formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt or a stereochemically isomeric form thereof. Example 4 : ORAL DROPS

Example 6 : FILM-COATED TABLETS Preparati.on.of..tablfit.coje.
A mixture of 100 grams of the A.I., 570 grams lactose and 200 grams starch was mixed well and thereafter humidified with a solution of 5 grams sodium dodecyl sulfate and 10 grams polyvinylpyrrolidone in 200 ml of water. The wet powder mixture was sieved, dried and sieved again. 100 Grams miciOcrystalline cellulose and 15 grams hydro- genated vegetable oil were added. The whole was mixed well and compressed into tablets, giving 10.000 tablets, each containing 10 mg of the active ingredient .Coating
To a solution of 10 grams methyl cellulose in 75 ml of denaturated ethanol was added a solution of 5 grams of ethyl cellulose in 150 ml of CH2CI2. Then there were added 75 ml of CH2CI2 and 2.5 ml 1,2,3-propanetriol. 10 Grams of polyethylene glycol was molten and dissolved in 75 ml of CH2CI2. The latter solution was added to the former and then there were added 2.5 grams of magnesium octadecanoate, 5 grams of polyvinylpyrrolidone and 30 ml of concentrated colour suspension and the whole was homogenated. The tablet cores were coated with the thus obtained mixture in a coating apparatus.
Example 7 : SUPPOSITORIES
